Data Catalogs: Versatile, Accessible and Essential for Data Governance

Today’s enterprises are using more data than ever before, from a large and growing variety of sources. Even smaller organizations that don’t explicitly administer conventional databases do, in fact, have numerous repositories, often with high volumes of data, on-premises and in the cloud. Such data must be actively managed and governed; regulatory compliance demands it. Beyond compliance, data is a competitive asset whose active management is just good business. A modern data catalog platform is the key to establishing management and governance of your data. A data catalog can offer you connectivity to a variety of data sources; artificial intelligence (AI)-powered assistance; the ability to identify and tag sensitive data and personally identifiable information (PII); and even support for cataloging data embedded in visualizations. With all that power, a great data catalog platform can help inventory and master an entire data estate, even for organizations new to data management.
